Out of the mold

Into my heart!

Today, the luthier sent me 4 more photos, after finishing the instrument's bowl.I am looking forward to the next weeks, when the bowl it will be cleaned, sanded and scrapped, so the beautiful black lines of grain, running through the amber-color old mulberry staves, will become more profound.This specific characteristic of the mulberry woods is what made me decide to use it, in the creation of my pre-war bouzouki.

The luthier and I, these days,we are discussing the option to change the original order design, regarding the fillets around the capping strip (kollantza), from wooden marquetry to a tortoise shell strip.
